Global Mid-Year Prayer & Fasting 2026
DAY 1 | THE NATION
Speaker: Pr. April Yabora - GCC Samar
Texts: JOEL 2:11-14; 23-27
11The Lord utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is He who carries out His word. The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?
12“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning;
13 And rend your heart and not your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil.
14Who knows whether He will not turn and relent And leave a blessing behind Him, Even a grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God?
23 So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the Lord your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before.
24The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.
25 “Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
26 “You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame.
27 “Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the Lord your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.
GLORY TO GOD🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
